PIsCO: A Performance indicators framework for collection of bioinformatics resource metrics

We present PIsCO, a server-side JavaScript framework for the collection, registration and sharing of metrics that can be used to evaluate the impact of bioinformatics-related resources such as software, repositories, training or databases. The metrics framework can be used to capture standard definitions of metrics, facilitate the collection of data, monitor resources and share data to be reused by other teams, laboratories or academic institutions. In addition, PIsCO is able to collect those metrics and present them in a visual way to allow their easy interpretation. Subjects Software Engineering, Computer Architecture, Bioinformatics
